Andrew Kimball

The Territory Trailblazer

For nearly a decade, Mr. Kimball oversaw the Brooklyn Navy Yard, transforming the former shipyard into a hub of artisanal and tech industry. Last year, he decamped for Jamestown Properties seeking to make a larger-scale impact. He’s now chief executive of Industry City, a 30-acre complex in Sunset Park that Jamestown and its partners bought a 50 percent stake in last year. Mr. Kimball is now trying to perform a similar feat as he did at the Navy Yard, upping the number of employees working there by sixfold while attracting 3D printing companies, fashion designers and video producers.
